NEW BUSINESS.
Under the head Of new business the

Thomas J. Moore, Of Richmond:
Whereas it has been demonstrated
that the provision Of the law "rcgull-
ting the practice Of medicine and
surgery in Nirginia" allowing appli-
cants to appear before three individual
examiners Is a defect in tie law p; and
whereas the high mission Of the Medi-
cal Examining Board Of Virginia ls
seriously hindored thereby: therefore
be it
HcsolrC9, That the Legislative com
mittcc on this board, together with "a
committee appointed by the state socI-
ETY., be requested TO petition the Lcgis-
lafure to repeal that provision Of the
law allowing applicants to appear be
fore three individual examiners.
In presenting this resolution DIR.
| Moore advocated its adoption in 70 eli
IIo larruooe. claiming that the repeal
OF tlat section of the law would greatly
mlaucc the value of the examining
board to tie profession and the people.

that the attempts of the prohibition party are not only futile but mischie- vious, the question is, what form will future legislation take' Thls demands the wisest and most careful consider ation and any attempt at defining an exact policy would be immature. for like all other social problems it will take time to unravel it's complex difi- culties. Its evils are the heritage of ages and its remedy will be the labor of many years. One thing is certain it will be restriction, not total prohiLi- ton, and it will most likely take the form of local option and high licence -the former because it is in conform. ity with the spirit of our institutions, that all communities should have the privilege of controlling their own local affairs, and the latter because it is the only way yet discovered of closing the low grogeries, which are productive of the most harm.
 Our prohibition friends are making a fearful mistake in allying themselves with the liquor interests in opposing high licence, which they are now do- ing in New York. This word licence seems to be their 6etc noir. The sound of the word seems to affect them as red flag is said to affect a bull, and they keep on repeating the fal- lacy which seems to be the motto of their party: "We must not give legal sanction to men to create drunkards. The logic of their position is utterly false. It is not only legal. but right eous to regulate and limit the action of evils that cannot be eradicated. Even if the drinking of alcoholic bev- erages were a sin pe, se-which it is not--it would still be in accordance with the highest principles ot moral ity to endeayor to limit and lessen it.
 All great social reforms have been pr eceded by fanatical extremists. They are like the sappers and miners ot military warfare who went in front welding huge axes, striking right and left, and doing great deal ot dam- age, but clearing the ground Of rough obstacles so that the army might ad vance in solid line upon the fo2. The trouble with the sappers ana miners of this great army of social reform i: that they are turning around and fir ing upon their friends.
 The prohibition party is practi cally deld, but it has done some good work in arousing the people to the compre' hension of a great evil and in induc- ing them to give wise and patient consideration to its remedy.

EVERY citizen of Arizona will con cur in the opinions expressed in Gov |. Zulick's able letter to Secretary La mar, regarding the talked of return of hostile Indians to this territory. The Secretary of the Interior has re- piled that Geronimo and his asso- ciates will not be returned to the west. Now, the governors newspaper organs arc endeavoriRg to make capi- tai for him by claiming that it was Governor Zulick's letter that induced d the administration to change their plans regarding these Indians. The fact is the mitter was decided long before Governor Zulick wrote that letter, and if he was not aware that such was the case he must be in woe iul ignorance of what is transpiring regarding the territory of which he is the chief executive. As far back as April I I7th General Miles wrote let ter to Mir. Hubert Welsh, Secretary of the Indian Friends Society, thank. ing that gentleman for having stated in a letter dated April 3d, "that it was not his purpose to recommend the return of the Chiricahua and Warm Spring Indians to Arizona. " In the light of these facts, trying to claim credit for Governor Zulick as having averted this calamity by an appeal made long alter the thing wa settled, savers a good deal of the "buncombe" of the great moral lot tery veto.

 TIE working of the American Cat tie Trust Company will be watched with care by all who are interested in the cattle business The trustees include such names as General John L. Routt, K. C.. Head and Thomas Sturgis, President of the Wyoming Cattle Company, Cheyenne. These men will certainly work earnestly for western cattle growers and they should have hearty cooperation in their effort to put an end to cattle monopolies. Just what their plan of operations will be is not yet made public, but the large sum of Sas ,ooo, {. 900 has been subscribed as capital and the gentlemen who will control 1t are thoroughly in sympathy with The interests of range stockmen.

A VITAL aunsffoN.

Among the signs of the times, there is nothing more gratifying to the best and most intelligent element of our population, than the fact that the dis tillers and large whiskey dealers of the country are becoming alarmed about their business, in the future. They are beginning to comprehend <, what is to them, a serious side of the liquor question and that the enor. nous incomes they have been deriv- ing from the traffic are imperilled. To combat this they are raising mon ey in large sums all over the country to defeat legislation that may be in- imical to their interests.
 This alarm is not unfounded. While practical legislation was confined to a few republican states, like Maine, Kansas and Iowa, the distillers affect ed to treat the movement with con. tempt. While their foes consisted of few cranks in isolated localities they felt secure and swaggered and clustered, confident that the bulk of the people were on their side, and those who were not positively in favor ot the liquor traffic were at least pas. sive and would let things remain as they were. But the last year has worked magical change in this res pect. Maine and Kansas are no lon ger bearing the brunt of the hght. Democratic Georgia has fallen into line and at this writing Texas and Michigan-the former one of the democratic strongholds of the coun- try-are fighting for prohibition.
 The present movement in Texas is causing the alarm among whiskey manufacturers. They are shrewd, far-seeing business men and do not blind themselves to the fact. that the crusade against the evils O whiskey is no louser confined to a few New England enthusiasts. There is slow, but mighty upheaval of pull lie opinion. throughout the country uE on this question. All lovers of law anc order are silently but surely arrayinl themselves together for the purpose O regulating the rum business and plac ing it under effectual and lawful con trol. It is no wonder that whiske, distillers are alarmed.

Coming legislation will not take the form of prohibiuon-that is a failure, utter and complete. It has existed only by lacking itself to some political faction becoming a politi- cal prostitute, selling itself to either side that are.willing..to barter prin. ciples for power. No less an author ity than Neal Dow, one of the ablest leaders of the prohibition party in Maine, says: "The condition of things in Portland is scandalous. Everybody knows, though there is pretence here of an enforcement of the law which has not been of the smallest effort in reducing the rum dens which infest the city," This comes from the home of prohibition and it is the utterances of one of its chief apostles. You cannot compel men to avoid the evils of whiskey by an act of the leg islature. Whenever public sentiment sustains the liquor law, it will be a success, and whenever public senti- ment does not sustain it, it will be failure, hence the futility of prohibit tion in large cities where remedial measures arc most needed. Experi- ence has shown that prohibitory laws are no good except for political pur- poses. It it a weapon byIwhich you can compel men to vote with you or go to jail, and that is about the use it has been put to, in the State of Maine.
 Honest prohibitionists, that is those good, we'll. meaning people, who sin cersly believe that prohibition is the only panacea for large portion of the immoralities of this wicked wor Id !, are constantly telling us that the only obstacle they have to contend with is the habitual violation of the law. It would be good law, they say, if it were only possible to prevent its be- ing broken. This is very nuch like lawyer saying, W would soon make a reputation as very able attorney were it not for the fact that lose almost every case that l take into court.
 The abuse of saloon keepers and their treatment as men occupied in an almost criminal calling, so fre- quently indulged in by the writers and speakers of the prohibition party. is as nonssnsioal as it is unjust. The man who drinks whiskey to excess yields to the temptation, through an unfortunate appetite, which he may have inherited. The man who sells whiskey yields to a tempt ation much more common--the greed of gain-the temptation to make money in an easy way. This passion for accumulating wealth is al- most universal and it must be sorrow fully admitted that it is often shown at Its strongest by those who profess to be the teachers and exemplars oi the highest morality.

MARRYING and giving in marriage is an uncertain proceeding now in Arizona.
